My 2020 Vision by Sarah Mayo

Happy new year/decade! And welcome to the twenties, a decade with a name, joy!  I like this time of year. Not because of the weather, or the post-festive fatigue; I like this time of year because it’s an opportunity to get back into my routines. Routines are important for me. As much as they might

Thrive not Survive

WANT, BELIEVE, THRIVE by Sarah Mayo As I sit here with the task of writing a blog on stepping out of your comfort zone, I’m inspired by the words of Napoleon Hill who said “Whatever the mind of man can conceive and believe, it can achieve.” Just writing and reading these words gives me that

Meaningful Connections
